Thats great about your training and the upcoming tournament. I was up in Toronto for a quick meeting a couple of weeks ago and plan on coming back probably in April. I will let you know when I am up there.

Your log is great.

Thx for reading Derek. Heh FYI I'm not actually brewing cups of tea all those times.. I brew some in a litre sized mason jar in the morning and then me and my gf drink watered down herbal tea throughout the day (yeah im the guy with the weird travel jar- its kind of fun seeing ppl's reaction).

Re; toronto definitely give me a heads up if youre back ill get you in at the gym for some training !

12:00pm lunch
.5lb sole fillet fried in ghee /w dried herbs, some mushroom
split half a bag of dulse flakes with gf, crisped in oven
half an avocado
2 NOW full spectrum minerals (picked this up recently, think i could use it every few days), 2 dig enzymes

at some point in the afternoon i had another runny bowel movement (last time was on tuesday).. same kind of thing- could feel it in my stomach and then shortly after had to go.. i think it was about an hour and a half after lunch which is similar to last time but i dunno why. best guess is its just this bug i have.

felt the sickest i have in a long time today (still not very symptomatic but definitely affected).

12pm-2pm back-to-back sessions of BJJ class
totally intense.. we did mostly all"king of the mat" style drills after warmups BOTH classes, where 3 guys are in the middle starting in closed guard and whoever scores points stays in. rolling at end of each class. absolutely exhausting but i loved every minute of it. i was a machine in the 2nd class (for some reason i got all the rookies in a row) and was sweeping everyone by threatening the armbar and just hooking one leg to the sweep. great practice, my guard is getting really solid.

i was so hungry for dinner that it went down exceptionally well. no bloated feeling that i sometimes get. i felt like i could have eaten more but i stopped myself and think i need to do that more often and focus on quality digestion. btw im done with trying to squeeze in more meals than i have time for. thinking of "eating windows" for a while made me rush my meals but im really moving towards 5-6 hours between feedings so that im really hungry for each one. better digestion, feel more productive/energized. if i lose a few pounds so be it but i have a hunch that enjoying each meal to the fullest will give better results anyway. i think a few days a week not eating in the AM and the odd day where all i have is dinner takes care of the beneficial IF. at least thats all that would be wise to work in with so much training in my schedule.

5:30am wakeup
feeling tired.. not surprisingly as i think i needed a few more hours sleep. sore too from yesterdays workout but not in an acute way. nice shiner on my left eye yikes.

no sign of that awful cold that hung around for too long. felt it was gone yesterday but had woken up stuffed up a bit. none of that today. good riddens. figure a break from training today is called for as yesterday was real intense. hopefully i can train hit weights and train tomorrow.
